Sailing with Synnove Per Olav Nina and Finn

Synnöve Per Olav Nina and Finn visiting

They came to Lanzarote to sail with me one week.

We had fantastic weather and a GREAT time together.

The week went very fast, but we got to see alot.

3 night we were at anchor. Had a swim in the afternoon, and of course

a swim as first ting in the morning in light blue crystal clear water.

First day we sailed north to the island north of Lanzarote. Graziosa.

Never got on the island, but anchored in the bay.

Next day we sailed south, and had to stop by Puerto Calero ( were we started) because I

had forgotten my laundrybag at ther laundry room.

Stayed over night and had a great dinner at the Spanish Tapas restaurant.

Next day we sailed south to and island north of Fuerteventura. Lobos.

Anchored again, and had a fantastic dinner made by Synnöve and Nina.

Since they were flying home from Las Palmas early Friday morning, we would

have to be at Grand Canaria somewere Thursday.

Las Palmas I new were closed because of the Atlantic Rally crusing. ARC

This is the 25th. year they have this event sailing from Las Palmas to

St. Lucia Caribbean. 250 ships. They leave same days as me Sunday 21st. Nov.

Well we found one last place to park the boat at Puerto Rico.

On the way from Lobos to Puerto Rico we sailed 28 hours,so we were doing shift during the night.

Nina and Finn was on watch from midnight to 03 morning, and Synnöve and Per Olav from 03 to 06.

They really liked the night sailing. There is uselly a lot of trafic, but there was ony 3-4 big ships.

Per Olav had to turn back of one of them.

Here are some great pictures from the trip.

They all get to take control of the wheel.

After they flew home, ( which they were not happy about)

Charles and Franzi from Switzerland arrived. They are part of the crew

for the Atlantic ocean. And by coinsidence the mother and father of

my old friend Pal 'Polly' Hansen were at Puerto Mogan,

So we had lunch and a drink with them also.

My sister Grethe and husband Viggo came one week to Puerto Rico to

see me off.

We had some good time together, and had some great breakfast - dinner and drinks.
